Odd Socks Day is an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique.

On Friday 1^st March, staff and pupils wore their odd socks to celebrate this. It was fantastic to see so many varieties of socks and for people to celebrate the messages of kindness, unity and individuality. Well done to all.

Anti-Bullying Alliance celebrate Odd Socks day in November each year. At Bloxwich Academy, we feel the message is an important one, to ensure we revisit kindness, acceptance and the support of others with pupils throughout the year.

We’re thrilled to introduce our new attendance theme for the remainder of this half term – “Eggcellent Attendance”! 

Starting today, every student who attends school regularly and is not late will have a crackin’ chance of winning an eggciting prize on the final day of this half term! 

Encourage your child to be present every day and on time to maximize their chances of taking home a special prize. 

Thank you for your ongoing support, and we can’t wait to see every student shine bright with their “Eggcellent Attendance”!

All of this week, you can access a large Virtual Careers Fair from home. With close to 100 exhibitors to visit, there will be lots of new careers to explore.
